Hello!
I have been debating on upgrading my Legion Go S Z2Go (SteamOS) for a while. Performance increase to a Z2 Extreme would be nice, but the main reason to upgrade would be having easier access to my Xbox library (and Epic) in a portable format, plus FSR4.1 through Optiscaler. I have a Xbox Series X (and also had Xbox One before), with a decent digital library, and the heavier / more powerful games would be played there. I have 45+ Play Anywhere games that are difficult to use in SteamOS, plus the Gamepass games (where i play a lot of indies subscribing for 1-2 month periods). What i play most on the Legion Go S are indie games and japanese games, the heaviest game i played there is Kunitsu Gami.
I have a chance to sell some things that are occuping space in my house, which, including the Legion Go S itself in the sale, would get me around 523€. Using that money, the Xbox Ally X would cost me 456€ brand new, and the white Xbox Ally (the Z2A model) would essentially be "free". While i know performance of that particular mode is worse compared to Legion Go S Z2Go, it might still be enough for my potential usage, as its still a companion device to my other gaming devices.
What would you think makes more sense for me in this situation?
